Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World

A journey along Patagonia's Atlantic coast where the land may be barren but the sea is rich with life; in this wild and unforgiving place, killer whales risk it all to survive, while huge male elephant seals battle for the chance to breed.

Along Patagonia's Pacific coast are deep, sheltered fjords; in summer, the nutrient-rich waters are in high demand from both animals and people, which threatens natural balance.

A journey from the low grasslands, where pumas roam, to the towering peaks of the Patagonian Andes, where only the toughest people and animals can survive.

Patagonia's far south is closer to Antarctica than anywhere else on Earth; it is a land of extremes where wind speeds above 100 miles per hour and giant waves batter the coastline; for penguins, whales, and people, survival is a daily struggle.

Patagonia's ancient woodlands are a magical home to creatures found nowhere else on Earth. This journey explores forests that time forgot, revealing hidden treasures, while meeting scientists and indigenous people working to protect them.

Over one dramatic year, film crews cope with extreme weather, hungry predators, stormy seas, high altitudes and baking sun as they capture the story of life in one of the wildest places on Earth.
